Notes:

Largely based on a case study of Bath. 'A comprehensive view of the history and geography of spas will not be attempted here. Instead the chapter highlights a number of aspects which contributed to their development before moving on to a detailed case study of one particular spa, Bath. This forms the core of the chapter and draws together themes referred to in general elsewhere'
